Here's the state of the rail lines so far. Green are the rail lines. Cyan areas are those that have single digit supply levels. Those are the areas that need immediate attention. I'm supposing that it's probably best if every area have at least double digit supply before I just devote the RR engineers to any one line of advance. And there may come a time to do that.

The bad news is that I'm taking them down on 01 DEC 2010 due to lack of interest. Nobody is visiting my site(s) except maybe two guys and I need to revamp the first site anyway to reflect the AAR's from THIS game. I'll do that and bring the site back up when it's ready again.

ORIGINAL: 1_Lzard I'vd run down the scenario listings and am pretty sure I've got 'em all, so do what ya have to, LOL!

Did you find everything you wanted? I don't have *everything* but I do have quite a collection. I've been to Rugged Design, GameSquad, etc. to find the latest and greatest and I'm happy with what I found. Except for Pacific War. I've discovered that that particular scenario doesn't like 3.4 very much. It freezes whenever it tries to calculate the reinforcements for the Allied turn. Dang. I liked that scenario too.

Yep! Got 'er all and more, eh? I'll have to set-up a file sharing system like yours and then you could have the choice of the scenarios I've collected....got some you've not had on the folders!

As to 3.4 and Pacific War, maybe the published patch will make a difference, tho I haven't tried it under 191 (I think...). Did you ever try it under the 3.2 version? I remember Ralph saying it was all about waiting long enough, but one tends to run out of patience after 10 mins or so, eh?

Hey that's a good idea. What with the cost of file servers now a days ( free for some of them ) I think maybe I should have just uploaded all those scenarios onto a file server and just publish the links for them here on the forum. Or if you'd rather you can turn your computer into a file server using one of the free web server programs available like I did. The one I'm using runs on Java so I had to install the Java runtime. But hey, I learned how to program in Java so I'm not complaining. You can find web servers like this one: http://tjws.sourceforge.net/ to use. I re-wrote the one I'm using so I guess you could use mine as well. I'll send it to you with instructions on how to use it if you'd like.

Yeah, but I left it running over night one time and it STILL was calculating in the morning. So.....

This is a picture of the Das Reich on their way to their next mission. They just finished up their last task and they have the rest of this warm pre-winter day to make it to a spot 12 miles away. There they will encamp and the next morning they will awake at 03:00 and move silently to their staging area for a short briefing and then breakfast just before they jump off on an armed recon walk to a meeting engagement probably.

I got only one combat round this turn so nothing moved on the entire map. I've provided some combat results so you can see what kind of combat results I'm getting. Here's a picture of Earnest Stiner the Axis's newest tank ace near Leningrad. He's getting an award pinned on his sleeve. He will be dead in a week.

Not much happened though. This AAR is 17MBytes big because I'm including most of the attack results for those of you who like to analyse attack results. I'm going to go through the attack results myself to see how many ( on average ) tactical bombers it takes to disentrench a Soviet arty unit. I'm guessing that it's between two and three or something like that ( depending on what else is in the hex with the arty tubes ).

Okie dokie. I've lost 9443 HRS squads in 12 turns so 9443 divided by 12 = 786 HRS squads per turn are lost. But I build 428 HRS squads per turn so 786 - 428 = 360 HRS squads per turn are lost net. I have on hand 4037 HRS squads so 4037 divided by 360 = about 11 turns until those on hand will "run out". And 11 turns at 1/2 week per turn = about 1.5 months of game time.

Kevin made some pretty BOLD moves. He took advantage of the frozen-over river and advanced into my sparce front line and forced me to scramble to try to salvage the situation. I'm hoping I can contain his thrust but it's iffy still even as we speak. He's got some tank units in that spearhead and as you all know those are hard to contain with infantry. This game just got a lot more interesting.

Okay, static front lines is over. Kevin has started his '41 Winter Offensive. It's turn 50 and I thought I'd post the Axis losses so we can compare them with the losses on turn 60 to see how much the offensive cost the Axis. Now that the front lines are in motion again I'll be posting more stuff for you to be able to keep up with our game.

Okay it's now turn 51 and Kevin has achieved a magnificant breakthrough in more than one place. My lack of reserves is starting to wear thin on my habit of taking risks. I'm really really going to have to scrape up some reserves some how to prevent this from occuring in the future. D'oh.

Okie dokie.....it's now turn 52 and Kevin is winning on style points now. Plus he's still got air superiority and the '41 Winter Offensive has only just started on turn 50. Doesn't bode well for the future of the Axis army.

I managed to plug the holes in my front line for a few turns, but now it's turn 54 and Kevin has been hammering on my dudes constantly and they're starting to give way in several places. Here's one place that's about the worst I guess. You can see how the front line bends back and back and now it's starting to tear holes in several places. I don't think I can mend this gap any longer. Kevin is on his way to my rear areas pretty soon now.

Somebody check out this link and tell me if you can download anything from this web page. It's supposed to be my shared folder with a bunch of AARs in it and stuff like that. It would be really cool if I just posted a link to the shared folder and you guys could download anything you wanted to from it.

Here's the front lines as of the beginning of turn 56. You can see the places where Kevin has broken through my lines and is trying to close the pincers of an envelopment so he can isolate, surround, and destroy a bunch of my stuff.
